Under the provisions of the interstate
commerce bill railroads decline TO renew
the passes of congressman. The bill
makes the issuance of passes to members
of Congress penal offense and the rail-
roads must protect themselves. A mem
Der of the house sent in his customary
request for renewal to the Pennsylvan-
IL railroad and received this reply:
1t would give me great pleasure to
send the annual desired. but, as you are
aware, the interstate commerce bill,
which, passed the senate, makes this a
penal offense, and, as | presume it viii
pass your body IN few days, you will
see. OF course, that we can not do any
thing that would eyade its provisions.

East SAGINAW, Mich, Sept. e. The
Michigan salt manufacturers will not join
the national association, as indicated by the
press dispatches from Pittburg. The pro.
posed national association Is on the same
plan as the Standard Oil and other trust
companies. which would virtually compel
salt manufacturers 10 put their property in

salt works in this state are operated In con-
nection with lumber mills, being entirely
different from the eastern methods OF manu-

THE DYNAMITE GUN


confess that I was greatly impressed with
the power Of the explosion. The vessel was
lifted mp bodily, and then went out of sight
instantly. The resistance of that target was
evidently no measure of the power OF the
projectile 1t demonstrated this--that they
can lodge dynamite in destructive quantities
a mile and quarter off with considerable
accuracy, and 1t Is a matter of detail merely
to increase the range of the gun and the
quantity of the explosive so as to render it
capable OF destroying the strongest iron-clads.
It avoids the present contest between
torpedoes and machine-gu4s The method
now employed for 9 using high
explosives is in torpedos Tor
pedoes are met by machine-guns and
steel nettings placed about ships, but this is a
new method of attack. Taking its range
and the line OF fight of the projectile, it is
difficult to say how it can be met For
coast defense it seems to be the most inn
portant arm yet invented. I have steadily
insisted upon the idea that the company
should have an opportunity to show what it
could do, and / am gratified that this Amer
ican invention has not had to go abroad for
its first encouragement. 1t has had it from
the navy department.. Its usefulness on ships
is yet to be established, but its Importance
